From our common sense, inferior products will eventually be replaced by superior products. Many people have analyzed the various reasons for this negative phenomenon, and habitual force and pipeline dependence are the most popular statements. However, we can analyze the situation at that time and identify deeper reasons.
The limited demand for computers in the market is one of the important reasons
At that time, the demand for computers was very limited, and few people were willing to change what was formed, especially in large companies. We know that when demand is limited, the motivation for innovation in any enterprise is small, and the focus is on whether there is something or not, rather than whether performance is the best.
2. The cost of keyboard innovation is relatively high
At that time, coding keyboards were used, and there were significant changes in both software and hardware. Both software and hardware were tasks that only a few professionals could handle, and the cost of modification and innovation was relatively high.
The above two reasons are the main reasons for the lack of motivation for enterprises to accept and promote. Below is an analysis of the reasons for the demand side.
3. Limited effect
Due to the extremely limited number of computer applications and files at that time, keyboards were mainly used for work rather than online chatting. At the same time, the main computer owners are not individuals but companies, and improving typing efficiency is not necessarily related to improving company efficiency. Therefore, companies in need of computers will not simply replace keyboards or computers due to the improvement of keyboard input efficiency.
At the same time, as long as one is proficient in blind typing technology, efficiency has already been greatly improved, and it is not necessarily necessary to improve typing efficiency by replacing the keyboard.
4. There are limitations to improving speed
The two redesigned keyboards are designed and adjusted based on the frequency of using English letters. Due to differences in language and letter usage, international performance improvement cannot be achieved simultaneously, and the driving force for international innovation is insufficient.
Assuming that keyboard innovation occurred in the mid-20th century, there is great hope for success.
